It’s ash form I remember people used to think was gonna be meh because it loses protean stab to everything. But then people tried it and saw it’s power. Now it’s one of the best revenge killers and rain sweepers in the game

I love playing ash greninja since i can make it snowball very quickly. The run down is I z power nuke an unresisted mon (or use the super effective move), kill and get battle bond. Then watershuriken breaks sub, sturdy and sash. Also getting priority is insane to top it off (3x hit, 20 base power priority. Essentially a 90 base power priority move). Why does this thing have to be banned in battle spot singles

Regular greninja is still awesome. It’s a nice lead with spikes or toxic spikes

I wonder who would win greninja or lucario in a 1v1? Greninja is faster and protean would prevent a super effective hit. Perhaps low kick but I don’t think lucario is heavy enough to be Koed like that. Lucario has priority super effective move in vacuum wave. Specs could allow for a ko

In terms of mega and ash form, I don’t think common ash sets would have a move for mega lucario. So assuming lucario survives the first turn, which it probably could, an adaptability boosted close combat would easily beat it.
